After thinking that I had gained 1.4lbs this week, I took a detour and treated myself to Chik-Fil-A...yum! I was a bit nervous this morning when I went to weigh myself, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had re-lost 0.6lbs. While this still means that I'm up 0.8 since starting work, given what we have been eating, I'm relatively impressed. Yes, I know that I need to kick it back into gear, but, still, this state of affairs is pretty okay by me.
That being said, I think I'm restarting on the right note - treating myself to a healthy breakfast in bed (one egg, one egg white, whole grain english muffin, and an apple with low-fat swiss cheese). Yum!!! I also signed up for a 15k (http://www.hotchocolate15k.com/) as an early birthday present to myself, since it is happening two days after my 25th birthday. CRAZY!
Hopefully, this will be the kickoff of getting back into the negative. I know it's going to be tough given the lunches and dinner events, but I think I can do this. Who's with me?

Meh...hoping to get back at it.
This weekend was a lot of fun. I mean it...a LOT of fun. I ended the work week with an impromptu mani/pedi at a new nail place that is closer to my apartment and so much better than the place I went to two weeks ago. After that, the fun really began. My brother came in town and spent most of the weekend with me, hanging out with his high school friends, and just catching up. Aside from some terrible German food and some equally horrific Mexican food, we had a great time. We even went to the Old Town Art Festival and ran into random people we knew from the past. Crazy. I really can't wait until Eric and I are in the same city and not just visiting each other. Life is better when he's around and not just on the phone. :)
That being said, I need to re-focus. I've strayed from my workout plans and my diet. No, I haven't completely screwed up, but this past week has not been so great. I haven't weighed myself in several days, but I know that I wouldn't be happy with what I saw if I did step on the scale. For that reason, I need to get back on track and remember to remain committed to my health. Of course, there's a work dinner tomorrow night in Chinatown...ugh.

"So live YOUR life"
Week One of work is history. I have enjoyed the assignments so far and am looking forward to the rest of the summer. I can't really say much more about work other than to note that the people are simply incredible. It's truly a privilege to be surrounded by such smart, hardworking, and accomplished individuals.
In light of my last post, I feel inclined to briefly note that the food situation has not been problematic. I continued to lose weight this week, despite being treated to a feast on Thursday night and several lunches and breakfasts. It seems like maintaining or losing weight will not be too difficult, given that everyone at the firm seems to be obsessed with the cafe's yogurt and granola parfait. I have yet to check out the firm's gym and didn't really have the time to use the one in my apartment building, but I'm hoping to change that this coming week.
I have to go run some errands, mainly because my professional clothing is already starting to be loose on me. Pretty bittersweet, but I guess I brought this upon myself. As my friend Josh would say, "It's a good problem to have."
Until later,
A
